The top place to have sex outside of the bedroom is in the shower, a survey revealed

The dos and don’ts

DON’T – GET ARRESTED

“Not being able to control your surroundings is all part of the thrill – but being arrested for cavorting in public isn’t quite the kick most of us are after,” says Tracey.

“So be sensible. Leave as many clothes on as possible and plan your escape and what to say if you get caught before you attempt it.”

DO – CHECK THE LAWS ABROAD

Tracey warns you should be aware of the laws in other countries, and adds: “Don’t do it if being caught would be an absolute nightmare or lead to arrest and be aware of the laws in the country you’re in.

“Having sex on a beach in Dubai, for instance, is not a good idea.”

A tourist resort in Mallorca recently passed a raft of bylaws, which could see randy couples slapped with a £2,300 fine.

DO – HAVE HOTEL SEX

“The urge to be naughty when staying in a hotel is high,” she said.

“If you’re abroad and anonymous, you’re more likely to do something risky – which is why that night-cap on the balcony to ‘finish off the evening’ often leads to both of you doing just that – with a bang.”

DON’T – HAVE SEX INSIDE A CAR

“Cars are always fun for sex. You could slip into the backseat and enjoy relative privacy but it’s far, far, sexier to do it on the car hood. You sit on the bonnet, he stands in front of you,” says Tracey.

DO – HAVE SEX ON A SWING

Tracey says: “Garden sex is fun, especially on a swing.

“She wears a long, loose skirt and no knickers, he stands in front, holds the sides of the swing seat firmly, draws her to him and stands still while swinging you to and fro.

“Some claim the only time our bodies are truly at peace is when the sun beats down on us because the sun and body’s biorhythms are the same.”

SAFE SEX ADVICE: REDUCE YOUR RISK OF CATCHING AN STI

Infections can be passed on even if the penis doesn’t fully enter the vagina or the man doesn’t ejaculate.

To protect yourself from infections, you should:

Use male or female condoms every time you have vaginal or anal sex.

If you have oral sex, cover the penis with a condom or the female genitals and male or female anus with a latex or polyurethane square.

If you are not sure how to use condoms correctly see our information on condoms.

Avoid sharing sex toys. If you do share them, wash them or cover them with a new condom before anyone else uses them.

There are many methods of contraception to prevent pregnancy, including the injection, patch, implant and pill.

Condoms are the only method of contraception that protects against both pregnancy and STIs, so always use a condom as well as your chosen method of contraception..

For those who have concerned about STIs, all tests and treatments at a GUM or sexual health clinic, and you can also speak about pregnancy and contraception.

A spokesperson for Lovehoney said: “Couples are becoming increasingly adventurous – and that has to be good thing.

“Who wants to have sex in the same place, at the same time and in the same way?

“Sex in the shower was the runaway winner and we find that tends to get even more popular as the weather heats up.

“In the last month, searches on the Lovehoney site for ‘Shower Sex’ and ‘Sex in the Shower’ have rocketed by over 700% – suggesting that when the sun comes out, we look at more risque places to have sex including the shower.

“All Lovehoney research shows that couples who are happy in the bedroom have better and more fulfilling relationships.
